Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt, as needed
  • 4 ounces green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium shallot, diced
  • ¼ cup chopped chives
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 small watermelon radish, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces wild arugula

Instructions

  • In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dijon and garlic until combined. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and potatoes to the boiling water. Cook the green beans until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Remove with tongs to a bowl of ice water until chilled then drain and set aside.
  • Continue to boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes to a strainer and return the pot to heat. Add the vinegar and bring the water to a bare simmer.
  • Create a clockwise swirling motion with a ladle to create a whirlpool then carefully crack each egg individually into the pot, being careful to space them out. Cook until the whites are just set and the yolk is runny, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and set them aside on a plate.
  • In a medium bowl toss the potatoes and green beans with half the dressing. Add the shallots, chives, dill, parsley and continue to toss.
  • Add the radish, arugula and the remaining vinaigrette then toss and divide among serving plates. Top with a poached egg and serve.
